docker-kube(1)

docker-kube1

Play containers, pods or volumes based on a structured input file

Part of podman-kube(1).

Usage

podman kube subcommand

Overview

The kube command recreates containers, pods or volumes based on the input from a structured (like YAML) file input. Containers are automatically started.

Note: The kube commands in podman focus on simplifying the process of moving containers from podman to a Kubernetes environment and from a Kubernetes environment back to podman. Podman is not replicating the kubectl CLI. Once containers are deployed to a Kubernetes cluster from podman, please use kubectl to manage the workloads in the cluster.
